Product details
Overview
CY62256VNLL-70SNXET from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 Kbit (32K × 8) low-voltage CMOS static RAM with 70 ns access time, operating across 2.7–3.6 V supply and supporting commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). It features active-low CE/OE/WE controls, tristate I/Os, automatic power-down (<5 µA standby), and TTL-compatible signaling - deployed in embedded controllers, industrial PLCs, and legacy instrumentation requiring nonvolatile SRAM retention during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the CY62256VNLL-70SNXET datasheet, CY62256VNLL-70SNXET pinout, CY62256VNLL-70SNXET application, or CY62256VNLL-70SNXET equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (28-pin narrow SOIC), validated timing parameters (tAA = 70 ns, tHZOE = 25 ns), real-world power behavior (ISB2 = 0.1–5 µA), and functional alternatives for memory expansion designs.
Technical Context
The CY62256VNLL-70SNXET implements a fully static 32K × 8 memory array with asynchronous read/write control via independent CE, OE, and WE signals. Its architecture supports seamless memory expansion through chip enable chaining and output enable gating, eliminating external bus arbitration logic.
It uses CMOS process technology to achieve sub-5 µA standby current at 3.6 V while maintaining 70 ns access under worst-case commercial conditions. The device enters automatic power-down mode when CE is HIGH, reducing ICC by >99% without requiring external control sequencing.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISSI IS62C256AL-70QLI | Same 32K × 8 organization, 70 ns speed, but rated –40°C to +85°C industrial grade; ISB2 = 1 µA typical | Supports wider ambient range; higher standby current makes it less suitable for battery-critical medical devices | Select for industrial environments where extended temperature tolerance outweighs µA-level power savings |
| Renesas R1LV256AS-70SI | Identical pinout and timing, but specifies VCC = 2.7–3.6 V and ISB2 = 0.5 µA max; JEDEC-standard SOIC footprint | Drop-in replacement with tighter standby spec; lacks automotive qualification markings present on CY62256VNLL | Choose when sourcing consistency and JEDEC compliance are prioritized over Cypress-specific reliability documentation |
Compared with IS62C256AL-70QLI and R1LV256AS-70SI, the CY62256VNLL-70SNXET offers the lowest guaranteed standby current (5 µA max) and explicit commercial-grade qualification - critical for cost-sensitive, thermally benign applications where ultra-low power defines system runtime.

FAQ
Is CY62256VNLL-70SNXET pin-compatible with the original CY62256-70PC?
Yes. CY62256VNLL-70SNXET uses the same 28-pin narrow SOIC footprint and identical pin assignments (A0–A14, I/O0–I/O7, CE, OE, WE, VCC, GND) as CY62256-70PC. The VN suffix denotes low-voltage operation (2.7–3.6 V), while the PC version requires 4.5–5.5 V - so voltage domain compatibility must be verified before substitution.
What is the minimum VCC required to retain data during power loss?
Data retention is guaranteed down to VDR = 1.4 V per the datasheet. At this voltage, ICCDR remains ≤3 µA (commercial grade), enabling retention on a 220 mAh CR2032 coin cell for over 12 months with proper decoupling and low-leakage PCB design.
Does CY62256VNLL-70SNXET support concurrent read/write operations?
No. It is a single-port asynchronous SRAM: only one operation (read or write) may occur per cycle. Read and write are controlled exclusively by CE, OE, and WE timing - overlapping CE/WE asserts initiate writes; CE/OE asserts with WE HIGH enable reads.
Can OE be left unconnected if outputs are always enabled?
No. OE must be actively driven LOW to enable outputs. Leaving OE floating violates the absolute maximum rating for input voltage (–0.5 V to VCC + 0.3 V) and risks undefined I/O states, potential bus contention, or increased standby current due to internal leakage paths.
